T.rex had quite an overbite, as most people have already mentioned on the 
list.  But most of the time, it's teeth were partially covered by it's lips. 
 As Greg Paul writes in PDW: "These lips could be lifted to bare the teeth 
in a threatening gesture, or lowered to help cover the teeth when the mouth 
was closed (97)."
